The motion

As an amendment to motion S5M-21865 in the name of Kenneth Gibson (UK Government Must Not U-turn on Promised £70 Million for Scotland), leave out from "notes" to the end and insert "acknowledges the more than £330 billion of support that it understands the UK Government has provided across the four nations since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, including the furloughing of approximately 8.4 million people across the UK and the substantial additional funding allocated to local authorities; believes that this substantial financial package and unprecedented financial intervention from the UK Government is a reminder of the benefits that the Scottish Government enjoys through devolved autonomy while remaining part of a wider fiscal framework of support in the UK, including receiving £3.5 billion in Barnett consequentials to help mitigate the impact of the virus, and calls on the Scottish Government to ensure that it passes on all Barnett consequentials that arise from UK funding to the people of Scotland and does not seek to unduly retain any funding, which it deems to be surplus, including what it believes is the £155 million due to local authorities that the Scottish ministers still have not passed on, despite specific assurances from the Scottish Government that it has already done so."
